My (random user) opinion is that the answer is a mix between the required computational power being too expensive and thus reduced and somehow how they "fixed" the models so they cannot be "jailbroken"

GPT was always really bad at math.
I've asked it word problems before and it fails miserably, giving me insane answers that make no sense. For example, I was curious once how many stars you would expect to find in a region of the milky way with a radius of 650 light years, assuming an average of 4 light years per star. The first answer it gave me was like a trillion stars or something, and I asked it if that makes sense to it, a trillion stars in a subset of space known to only contain about a quarter of that number, and it gave me a wildly different answer. I asked it to check again and it gave me a third wildly different number.
Sometimes it doubles down on wrong answers.
GPT is amazing but it's got a long way to go.
Looks like GPT4 API also got dumber...
I used GPT4 the other day and it worked perfectly for calculating formulas of straight lines on linear-log plots but maybe I was the 2%
"AI" taking our jobs and all that huh
Turns out you need very good computer scientists to make good AI. And those are very expensive and hard to come by.
